Out in style with Vmates’ Delicate Flower Handbag.

We women love our purses. They come in so many varieties, and materials too. I never go out without some type of bag. I tend to lean toward to the more “plain” style, when it comes to patterns and purses. It normally is the safer bet, for me, anyhow. That’s where my comfort zone lies. This purse by Vmate, is so different from what I normally use. It makes me expand my comfort zone. I am really glad I had the chance to test out this bag. The size is fantastic, which makes it so useful to many people. It measures out at 13 ¾” wide, 9 ½” tall, and 3 ¾” deep. These are my personal measurements, too. The purse arrives well packaged, and comes in a purse sleeve. So, when you are not using it, you can store it in it’s own bag, to make it last longer, and protect it. They made this purse out of a soft, pliable pleather. The hardware on it is Gold Tone in color. It I metal as well. I like how they added 4 gold tone feet to the bottom of the purse. We always end up putting our purse on the floor at some point, and the feet really help to protect the bottom of our bags. I do not find this feature that often anymore. I think these feet are done in a plastic material, but with the same gold tone finish. That is my personal guess, as it is not mentioned in their purse description.

When my purse arrived, I found the shoulder strap folded up inside of the purse. It clips onto the bag, as another carry option. Otherwise, it has a handle on the top of the bag, and you could carry it this way also. I always put the shoulder straps on my bags. Another personal choice, of course. The shoulder strap is made very well. It is thick, durable, and highly adjustable. I love that it has a full front flap closure. It closes with 2 magnet snaps as well. The full front flap makes it so much harder for pick pockets, which is awesome! I have a vivid memory, as a young child, of someone trying to steal my mom’s purse in Mexico, when we lived there. So, I always think purse safety. My purse arrived in perfect condition. I found no imperfections with it, whatsoever. There was no odor to it either, which is always a great thing. The inside of the purse is fully lined, with pretty durable material. It is not a soft fabric, but more of a fabric that you can wipe down a little, like a nylon fabric. It is brown in color. Inside of the purse is one large, open compartment. On the back wall of the purse, you will find the usual zippered pocket. The sipper functions perfectly on mine. On the front wall of the purse, you will find the usual dual, open pockets. These are great for placing your lipstick, pens, pocket knife, and the like, in them. Overall, I am very happy with this purse. It has such a unique style to it, it’s a great size, and made well too.

 

They offer this purse in 3 other styles with the same pattern, and they also have a matching wallet. It is available here for purchase: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M6TWYMU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

A fun knife from Elemental Knives.

EK knife 3Recently, I had my car broken into, and had my being prepared supplies, and self-defense supplies stolen from me. That included my knife unfortunately. So, I was thrilled to be able to review this beauty. This is my first personal knife done in this design. This design is great for show and self-defense. It has a solid grip, a great sheath, and lanyard; perfect for neck carry. It’s a Hawkbill design, and the blade is also full tang as well. This knife is made out of 420 stainless steel. It’s pretty thick and sturdy; not a flimsy, bendy knife in the least. It arrived pretty sharp, but definitely has a factory edge. Pretty much what I expected. Another pro for this knife, is that it also comes with a solid sheath with lanyard hole. That way, when you are wearing it in neck carry mode, you just need to grab the handle, and with a quick tug, the knife is free to defend yourself. The blade on this knife is a 3.5” blade. You will need to check your state laws to make sure this is legal in your state. I’m lucky, it’s legal in mine. The ABS and fiberglass handle is comfortable to hold and it affords a solid grip. There is also a finger hole at the end of the knife. This knife measures 7 ½” in total length. It’s still pretty light at 3.83oz. I like the thumb grip on it. It’s comfortable, but really helps to ensure a solid grip. The finish on the blade and finger hole is pretty sharp looking. This is my first knife with the blade done with a design like this. I find it to be a lot of fun. This knife has found a home in my car. I am glad I have been able to replace my self-defense knife in my vehicle. Now I just need to replace my basic pocket knife.

I was afforded the opportunity to review Elemental Knives’ CS:GO CASE HARDENED Real Knife Counter Strike Global Offensive, at a reduced cost, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.
